Clinical neurophysiology service area

We perform diagnostic outpatient examinations of the peripheral and central nervous system, the sensory system and sleep at the Clinical Neurophysiology Unit in the Tyks Lighthouse Hospital and on an emergency basis at different wards in Tyks.

In addition to diagnostic tests, we treat patients with non-invasive neuromodulation techniques (repetitive transcranial magnetic simulation and transcranial direct current stimulation), as well as monitor the function of the nervous system, musculature and sensory organs during surgery and in intensive care.

In cooperation with the university and university of applied sciences, we train specialising physicians, medical students and students in the health care sector (Bachelors of Health Care). The ward also offers the opportunity to complete the university hospital training required to qualify as a medical physicist.

Scientific research is an essential part of our work. We conduct independent research and participate in local (Tyks, TY), national and international studies.

The Clinical Neurophysiology Unit has been using a quality management system accredited by FINAS (Finnish Accreditation Service) since 2003. We are the first accredited laboratory in our field in Finland and, as far as we know, in the world. We meet the qualification requirements of EN/ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
